The Witcher 3

The currently most popular mod for the CD Projekt RED game is no surprise. After installing one file, during cutscenes, we can see the world of the Wild Hunt without any distortions in the lighting. And make no mistake, the differences are huge, and players are satisfied.

How to get rid of it? It’s rare that so many years after the premiere of The Witcher 3, there are still mods with such a large number of downloads. Great result (3.2 thousand people).

It doesn’t improve combat, it doesn’t add new things to the game, it just makes the presented world “different”. The project’s author explains that the lighting in The Witcher 3 is layered. Almost all the lighting is essentially “fake”.

However, cutscenes have even more of it, and some cutscenes are overloaded with it. CD Projekt RED wanted to improve the appearance of the characters in this way, but as a result, many players felt that the final effect was exaggerated. So the modder searched the cutscene files to eliminate the excess lighting, such as point lights on the character’s faces.

Not all cutscenes contain them, so he only edited those in which he noticed an excess of light. The goal was to increase immersion during the game, and whether it succeeded is shown in comparative screenshots.
